Scholarships provided by a generous donation from the Alice & JP<\/abbr> Wang Foundation will help University of Hawai\u02bbi at M\u0101noa students with the costs of studying abroad in Taiwan as part of the Chinese Language Flagship Program<\/a> in the College of Arts, Languages & Letters<\/a> (CALL<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

The Alice & JP<\/abbr> Wang Foundation Student Support Fund for Study in Taiwan will provide monetary assistance to help students with the cost of studying in Taiwan either over a summer or for their final year of the program. Applications can be submitted through Friday, March 15.<\/a><\/p>\n

Song Jiang, director of the Chinese Language Flagship Program, said the donation will help to cover students\u2019 travel, tuition and living expenses.<\/p>\n

“The ability of our flagship students to continue their studies in Taiwan is crucial as it affords them the opportunity to enhance their language capabilities through living in a Chinese-speaking society, and it provides them with the opportunity to gain a level of cultural competence otherwise not available to them,” Jiang said. “This very generous donation helps us to reach a greater number of students who want to further their studies in Taiwan to reach their academic and career goals.”<\/p>\n

As part of the Chinese Language Flagship Program, students must spend eight weeks in a summer intensive Chinese language program, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa in Taiwan program, and then study in Taiwan during a mandatory capstone year.<\/p>\n

The California-based Alice & JP<\/abbr> Wang Foundation was established by JP<\/abbr> Wang, founder of the information technology firm Golden Star Technology Inc., and his wife, Alice Wang. Their foundation has also supported more than 50 scholarships in California.<\/p>\n

“I am grateful to the (Alice & JP<\/abbr> Wang) Foundation for their support of our students\u2019 language immersion training in Taiwan, an essential component of the Chinese Flagship program,” said CALL<\/abbr> Dean Peter Arnade. “Their gift will make a tangible difference in our students\u2019 ability to complete the Flagship program and achieve advanced proficiency in Mandarin.”<\/p>\n

Founded in 2014, the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Chinese Language Flagship program is one of 13 in the U.S.<\/p>\n
